The
No. 3 University of Florida lacrosse team will wrap up its three-game homestand
with a noon matchup against the University at Albany on Sunday. The Gators are
currently 5-0 on the season and look to extend their home win streak to 13
games at Donald R. Dizney Stadium.

UF
is coming off a 16-4 win over UC Davis on Friday night. Senior attack Ashley
Bruns (Ellicot City, Md.) scored six points off four goals and two assists
while four other Gators had two goals apiece. Goalies senior Mikey Meagher (Liverpool,
N.Y.) and freshman Mary-Sean Wilcox (Lutherville, Md.) had a combined
eight saves on 15 shots.

UAlbany begins the 2013 season in search for its third consecutive
America East Conference Tournament title in as many seasons. The team returns
seven starters that won the conference title as the four seed, who upended
number two seed Boston University in the semifinals and the number one seed
Stony Brook in the finals en route to their second consecutive conference title
and NCAA Tournament appearance. The Sunday matchup will mark the start to their
2013 season.

Senior Rachael Burek and sophomore Maureen Keggins return to lead
the UAlbany attack, bringing back a combined 46 goals from last season Burek
returns as a all-conference second team member, having tallied 35 goals and
seven assists. Junior Anna Berman returns in the cage, holding 30-6 record in
two seasons and has 191 saves in her career and a .406 saves percentage. UAlbany
is also receiving votes in both major polls coming into Sunday’s contest.

The Gators and Great Danes
have met once before, in the 2012 NCAA first round where the Gators narrowly
escaped with a 6-4 win at Dizney Stadium. Shannon Gilroy (Northport,
N.Y.) chipped in two goals to help lead Florida in the effort. Defense was key
in the matchup, as both teams only took a combined 23 shots in the game.
